I have. With FUSE and gvfs, something like (the computer where I did it and
kept notes is current shut down):

gvfs-mount 'mtp://[usb:001,002]'

You need to have gvfs-fuse already running, then it appears under
/run/users/$UID/gvfs/.

libmtp has a few tools to manipulate MTP devices without mounting them, but
they have 0 documentation. Furthermore, MTP it awfully slow at startup for
some tasks, so individual commands without a process to keep the library
open will give awful results. I have started working on a tool with a
script-friendly FTP-like interface, but not got very far yet due to other
more pressing projects.
